If Dungey could get better starts, there might actually be hope. :noidea:

Poto's just so darn fast though.

sucks so bad. he always brought it to the race so we lost a little something something to the races now

. torn acl at this stage... i hope im wrong but i dont think hes gonna race again

i have the feeling that if chad doesnt race this season, someone (a honda rider) from the lites class will fill in for him. even tho chad is not a factory honda rider

Its those damn Honda bikes everyone I beat rides a honda....

honestly, one of the grittiest riders retire? I think not! He'll push back, bite his lip and return for the outdoors with a new found glory!

Exactly, I'd be surprised if he didn't come back.

ACL, ribs and vetebrate!! ACL and ribs you can recover from, not sure what the T6 impairs. Out the rest of the SX and season, too bad. Was a nasty crash, lucky, worse didn't happen.

ya know, when it comes to Reed, I think you're right, things that would force other guys into retirement he beats and comes back from even faster than he was before.......

He's a beast of an athlete, I hope he comes back, he brings something special to the sport thats for sure.
